In this characteristically turbocharged book, now in a new post-election edition, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider’s guide to the variety of ways today’s mainstream media tells us lies.
Part tirade, part confessional, Hate Inc reveals that what most people think of as “the news” is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.
In the Internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism’s dirty tricks.
After a 2020 election season that proved to be a Great Giza Pyramid Complex of invective and digital ugliness, Hate Inc. is an invaluable antidote to the hidden poisons dished up by those we rely on to tell us what is happening in the world.

The best explanation of media behavior since Manufacturing Consent.” ―Glenn Greenwald
“Fantastic... Everyone should read [it].” ―Krystal Ball
“The best American journalism has to offer. ” ―David Sirota
“Where other mainstream news sources fail, Matt Taibbi madly embraces his role as an honest political observer/writer/citizen in a democracy. ” ―Janeane Garofalo
“Excellent.” ―Joe Rogan
“An invigorating polemic against tactics the news media use to manipulate and divide their audiences.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Taibbi, a writer of striking intelligence and bold ideas, is as hilarious as he is scathing.” ―Publishers Weekly
“In a smart and scathing freewheeling analysis, the Rolling Stone journalist analyzes political campaign coverage and other media powder kegs.” ―The New York Times
“Taibbi aims a cannon, blasting [the] American media industry.” ―The Washington Post
“Scathing and irreverent.” ―The Los Angeles Review of Books

“Brilliantly captures the current circus atmosphere and explores its roots in the political, economic and technological transformations of the last half century. ” ―CounterPunch
“A bracing piece of media analysis… Should be required reading in all three remaining journalism schools. ” ―Paste

FROM THE INTRODUCTION TO HATE INC.
Now more than ever, most journalists work for giant nihilistic corporations whose editorial decisions are skewed by a toxic mix of political and financial considerations. Unless you understand how those pressures work, it’s very difficult for a casual news consumer to gain an accurate picture of the world.
This book is intended as an insider’s guide to those distortions.
The technology underpinning the modern news business is sophisticated and works according to a two-step process. First, it creates content that reinforces your pre-existing opinions, and after analysis of your consumer habits, sends it to you.
Then it matches you to advertisers who have a product they’re trying to sell to your demographic. This is how companies like Facebook and Google make their money: telling advertisers where their likely customers are on the web.
The news, basically, is bait to lure you in to a pen where you can be sold sneakers or bath soaps or prostatitis cures or whatever else studies say people of your age, gender, race, class, and political bent tend to buy.
Imagine your Internet surfing habit as being like walking down a street. A man shouts: “Did you hear what those damned liberals did today? Come down this alley.”
You hate liberals, so you go down the alley. On your way to the story, there’s a storefront selling mart carts and gold investments (there’s a crash coming – this billionaire even says so!).
Maybe you buy the gold, maybe you don’t. But at the end of the alley, there’s a red-faced screamer telling a story that may even be true, about a college in Massachusetts where administrators took down a statue of John Adams because it made a Hispanic immigrant “uncomfortable.” Boy does that make you pissed!
They picked that story just for you to hear. It is like the parable of Kafka’s gatekeeper, guarding a door to the truth that was built just for you.
Across the street, down the MSNBC alley, there’s an opposite story, and set of storefronts, built specifically for someone else to hear.
People need to start understanding the news not as “the news,” but as just such an individualized consumer experience – anger just for you.
This is not reporting. It’s a marketing process designed to create rhetorical addictions and shut unhelpfully non-consumerist doors in your mind. This creates more than just pockets of political rancor. It creates masses of media consumers who’ve been trained to see in only one direction, as if they had been pulled through history on a railroad track, with heads fastened in blinders, looking only one way.
As it turns out, there is a utility in keeping us divided. As people, the more separate we are, the more politically impotent we become.
This is the second stage of the mass media deception originally described in Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman’s book Manufacturing Consent.
First, we’re taught to stay within certain bounds, intellectually. Then, we’re all herded into separate demographic pens, located along different patches of real estate on the spectrum of permissible thought.
Once safely captured, we’re trained to consume the news the way sports fans do. We root for our team, and hate all the rest.
Hatred is the partner of ignorance, and we in the media have become experts in selling both.
I looked back at thirty years of deceptive episodes – from Iraq to the financial crisis of 2008 to the 2016 election of Donald Trump – and found that we in the press have increasingly used intramural hatreds to obscure larger, more damning truths. Fake controversies of increasing absurdity have been deployed over and over to keep our audiences from seeing larger problems.
We manufactured fake dissent, to prevent real dissent.

Many astute reporters have noted that we are becoming more vitriolic by the year. See Douglas Murray's The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity . We don't know about Murray's politics, but he is a conservative in that he takes on the madness that he identifies in his title. One has to feel that the overlapping waves of political correctness that radiate from the huge splash of the 1960s are finally cresting. We have reached peak absurdity. There is nobody who has more sharply honed the tools to write about it than Taibbi. This is a welcome book.
He writes "I despair at the blame-a-thon of modern political media and wonder all the time if I didn’t help construct this new attitude with the flamboyant insults I put in print for years. Worse, today’s media debate has left its sense of humor behind, and we now argue even minor issues as life-or-death matters, despite not even knowing each other. People who would certainly engage in courteous chats at their kids’ birthday parties freely trade horrific threats on Twitter. It’s insane."
Taibbi paints a picture of a halcyon era in which the news was mostly unbiased. He writes "Whereas the task was once to report the facts as honestly as we could – down the middle of the 'fairway' of acceptable thought..."
He does not go into who defined "acceptable thought." The fact is that there were few Gentile press barons between the eras of William Randolph Hearst and Rupert Murdoch. Print media were dominated by men such as Eugene Meyer of the Washington Post, the Sulzbergers and Ochs of the New York Times, the Pritzkers of Chicago. Broadcast media were dominated by William Paley and Robert Sarnoff.
"Acceptable thought" embraced civil rights for racial minorities, sexual minorities and women. Moreover, they wanted it now. There were pejoratives for people who might say "Slow down a bit – it's not that simple." Acceptable thought welcomed immigrants. Acceptable thought embraced all of the changes underway in Europe – guestworkers, the expansion of the European Union, the adoption of the euro, and the full United Nations platform.
For Taibbi to claim that Fox News invented the silo is a little bit disingenuous. The men who dominated the press had their own silo, one that did not include the bulk of their audience – Gentiles. Rupert Murdoch made a lot of money by figuring that out. Taibbi says that Roger Ailes claimed that his target demographic was "white men between 55 and dead." It was broader than that.
Another dimension that Taibbi does not mention is television entertainment. Fox was equally successful in figuring out what this broad demographic wanted in the way of humor. They did not all want to have their minds expanded by programs such as "All in the Family" or "Star Trek."
As an amusing side note, white people who are not Gentiles, the ones who dominate American academia, finance and media, can be defined by a single word. That word does not appear anywhere in this book. Coincidence?
The most valuable material is in the last few chapters. Government officials always have a narrative that they want to push. Reporters have a professional duty to be skeptical. Yet, they are not. They suppress their curiosity in order to maintain access.
Taibbi devote a lot of text to two major fiascoes. The first was the second Iraq war, the WMD question. The intelligence community wanted a war, and they had a perfect villain in Saddam Hussein. They spent years putting together the case for taking him down. Saddam was not a nice man, but there was no need for war. Beating the drums for war was the entire Bush apparatus – the usual heavies, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Poindexter and the like – but also a great many liberal and neocon outfits. Taibbi is tough with all of them.
In the end, the Republicans were the strongest proponents of the Iraq war. Therefore it is easier to get the press to be honest with itself on the subject. Another advantage is that the British Chilcot Report does a thorough and honest job of analyzing how the British press was co-opted into supporting this ill-advised war.
The second, Russiagate, on the other hand, is a Democrat operation. Democrats dominate the press. It appears that they dominate the intelligence agencies as well – the "Deep State", although Taibbi doesn't call it that. It will be harder to do a postmortem on Russiagate because the information sources for such an investigation would be too highly compromised.
Taibbi's book itself will be an excellent start. While he has no love for Republicans or for Trump, he does seem to like the truth. May the truth win out.
Among the other things to like about Matt Taibbi is that he is a straight white man. His Amazon portrait photograph shows him holding his son. How amazing! He is one of the few who is writing about the current state of affairs in the world who has a stake in its future. He has to care how his son will grow up and whether he has grandchildren. A look around will indicate that relatively few of the world's leaders share these concerns. A majority in Europe are childless. I hope Taibbi starts a trend.
Taibbi's arch sense of humor expresses itself even then his chapter titles.

Acknowledgments
That's enough of a brief review for the moment. I will add chapter reviews as I have time to write them. Without a doubt, a five-star effort.
Taibbi doesn’t draw a distinction between Fox News right wing propagandists, and a journalist who does her homework and at least tries to get a story right.
He spends a long chapter complaining about Maddow’s mistakes in covering the investigation of collusion between Russia and Trump et al.
I don’t think that the Mueller investigation was really able to learn exactly how the Russians interacted with the Trump campaign, and we may never know, but it seems probable that they did in some form or fashion.
So now an otherwise good book will cause readers to focus on Taibbi’s diatribe against Maddow and her probably excessive coverage of Trump’s 2016 election shenanigans up through the Mueller report being released. Where there’s smoke there’s usually fire, and I take the view opposite of Taibbi that with Trump’s likely, but not legally provable, collusion with the Russians in 2016, that absence of evidence is not automatically evidence of absence.
I’m a long time reader and fan of Matt Taibbi, and it doesn’t make me happy to criticize him thusly, but if in the future more compelling information becomes available about Trump and his Russian pals working together in 2016 to undermine Clinton (she did enough to undermine herself anyway, but I think that Putin helped grease the skids for her), then the author will end up with a damaged reputation. And that’s a sad thing for me to say.

This book doesn't have it. It's a "Hunter Thompson lite" book about what he doesn't like about the state of today's media.
Also, it's biased to the left - no real effect on the message, just hard to ignore.
There are some takeaways for the media in other countries too as similar trends are playing out.
